Yes, because if they didn't people could sue them for not informing them. I don't know who is going to sue an ice cream company for not posting "Keep Frozen" on their labels, but this at least definitely does apply to the peanuts example as Jadey mentioned.
Companies like to be very careful not to get sued, so they take every precaution they can.

In an ideal world, no. In the world in which we live? Yes. The companies are, I suspect, just protecting themselves from lawsuits from those swimming in the shallower regions of the mental gene pool. It's for the same reason that companies now put "Contents are HOT!" on a hot cup of coffee. Remember the woman who sued McDonald's (and won) because she drove with a cup of their coffee between her legs and scalded herself?
